to refresh your memory:
http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/23/79/11m.jpg
looks familiar, huh?

anyway, the whole movie is so crappy that it's extremely fun to watch (especially with a couple of friends & beers). bad acting & catchy music make this piece of shit into a true cult movie. get it now-- only 2,95 at your local gas station!

flaaaash-ahaaaaaa! :D

See when I was growing up in the Bay Area (San Fran), i used to watch old Godzilla movies in Japanese. I loved them. So now, when I'm feeling blue, I can watch a Godzilla movie and remember bieng a little kid.

[Frieda]

OMG...thank you. We watch that movie together as a family on Christmas Day every year. Ok, so we're a little odd.

I just re-watched Royal Tenenbaums and i swear it's one of the best films ever. It's a beautiful film to watch visually and it's the sweetest family story and i also can't decide which Wilson brother i want more.....

Is it Owen...I love the broken nose look and he's a bit messy.

No, it's Luke. I mean first off, his name is Luke and my god he's just so damn hot.

But no, it's Owen...that make-out scene with Gwenyth on the subway (not at subway)...woo, better than porno anyday.

No, it's Luke. He actually dated Gwenyth and I have a bit of a girl crush on her so it's him....I'm just so damned confused.

[Frieda]

woooooo! just got tickets for saturday for The Matrix Reloaded! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[ambo]

[Frieda]

[Frieda]

unfortunately, there is no assigned seating here, so we still have to get to the theater an hour early to stand in line to get a decent seat
oh well... i know it will be worth it...

[Deviate]

X2 is definitely now one of my favourite movies. thanks Beckadeck.

-st.

[meredila]

Has anyone seen "Secretary"? Wonderful, a bit twisted, but amusing. (Another one that I loved but no one has seen is "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind." I thought it was fantastic.)

Do mini-series count as movies? I'm an A&E/BBC slut (Pride and Prejudice and Tom Jones specifically).

Y'all have already listed most of my other favorites, so I won't repeat them.

[Zyle]

watched dead poets again last night... *sob!*

[Hermione]

I heard about a movie called "PI" ... is it good?

[moel]
